Still need to watch Kick Ass e but RIPD was wicked. Really enjoyed that.

I watched Bigger, Stronger, Faster about the use of drugs in sports and such. Also watched The Emperor's New Groove, Batman - The Dark Knight Returns Part I, Spawn and a few other bits and bobs.

The dark knight returns is awesome... one of my favorite batman comics, the animated movie ain't that bad either :)

RIPD was fun, made me think of a mash up between Ghostbusters and Men in Black. I should go look for the RIPD comics (since I clearly don't have enough stuff to read and watch, lol)
 
Well, I'm on 4 now, but gonna try and make my way through all of them today.

I always liked the Saw series. Even though the storyline was pretty much incomprehensible after the third (which isn't surprising since the third was originally intended to be the last), they're still worth seeing for any serious horror fan just for the special effects. As far as I know, there was very little cgi used (if indeed there was any at all), which means that every trap you see was built BY HAND and some insane genius had to design them all. Amazing.

It was a bit too interwoven for someone like me but I enjoyed them and something I was suspecting happened.
 
I saw insidious 2 with my caze manager friday.
It was ok. I hope to see the new Carrie movie when I see him next friday.
 
I finally got to see Tim Burton's adaptation of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street after recording it. Absolutely lovely film.
 
Battleship Potemkin

I'm still trying to get my head around the fact that this movie is almost 90... yes, 90, years old. And funnily enough, that movie, in my opinion, is way more entertaining than a lot of the stuff I see nowadays...
 
If you liked that one, check out The Passion Of Joan Of Arc. That's another silent classic. The last movie I watched was Justice League: The New Frontier, based on the novel by Darwyn Cooke (I've been on a DC Comics animation binge the last few days). The film takes an interesting look at the middle years between the end of the Justice Society in the late forties and the beginning of the Justice League in the late fifties and imagines a world where, due to McCarthyism, superheroes are viewed with distrust and scorn. This is similar to Watchmen, but unlike that story, the tone here is more hopeful and the ending is a lot more upbeat. The animation does a good job of matching Cooke's art style and the voice acting and music are both excellent. It's a crying shame that WB only releases these films straight to DVD, cause they could totally compete and hold their own with a big screen release. They might even pick up a Best Animated Feature nomination if only they were willing to try. Oh well.
 
I was lucky enough to attend An Evening With Kevin Smith last year. The audience was small (maybe a couple hundred people), but that just enhanced the informality of the occasion and made it seem like we were just hanging out for a few hours. During the course of the discussion, he told us that he would soon be retiring from filmmaking because he felt that he'd said what he wanted to say and it was time to step aside and let the new generation of filmmakers have their say. As an extension of this announcement, he encouraged those of us who want to be filmmakers to go for it because the technology to do so is so inexpensive now that anyone can do it and the guys in Hollywood are no longer special. As he put it, "the moment you say you're a filmmaker, you are one. It doesn't matter if you haven't completed anything yet. If anyone asks, just tell 'em you're working on it." In recent weeks, I've taken that advice to heart as I work on attempting to do an animated short in the hopes that I can get someone with connections to notice. Smith said he'd like to come back and bring Mewes with him next time, so I hope he's able to 'cause I'd love to see him again.

I can't love this enough!!
 
I went to a matin?e screening of Gravity today. It was brilliantly shot, and it was satisfying to see a film where a lot of the exciting action was based entirely on the most basic laws of Newtonian mechanics. I was even willing to forgive the 3D (which, to me, was too much of a distraction). But I walked out with mixed feelings...it was a bit of a letdown coming from seeing a lot of Cuar?n's other films.

I did geek out a little when I saw that the actor who voiced Mission Control is the same who played Gene Kranz in Apollo 13. (Yes, I am one of those weirdos who always stays for the credits.)
 
Horrors Of Spider Island - While I don't know if it was ever featured on Mystery Science Theater 3000, it's one of those movies that would have been right at home on that show. This isn't necessarily a bad thing. Ever since I saw Grindhouse and loved it, I've become very fond of B-movies in general, the cheesier the better. More than mere entertainment, however, watching this type of low-budget "trash cinema" is very educational in that I'm able to see the tricks those filmmakers used to make the most of what they had to work with. Anyone who wants to be a filmmaker could do worse than to pick up a set of these films and study them as I do. Mill Creek Entertainment is a wonderful source for such sets and I've bought several of them. Now if only I had a writing partner to collaborate with...
 
I just saw with my friend Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa. It's Jackass with a plot. I saw the trailer before Kick-Ass 2 & I knew I had to go see it. I had some laughs.(which I needed)It's not for everyone, but I liked it. I like movies that make me laugh.
